Gentlemen,

an overwhelming amount of duties on the commercial side did so far prevent me from issuing a meaningful report about my findings during a recent visit in the kingdom. 5 days, BKK only.

To my endless surprise, all Thais decided to wear masks in public which is completely useless but the government seems to insist. On the other hand a lot of falangs did not follow the rules, probably under the impression that masks are part of a diabolic extraterrestrial conspiracy  funded by Gates and Soros. I consider this behaviour as completely unrespectful towards the locals but here we go.

There are no Asia Book shops left except somewhere up Sukhumvit in a mall, the one in the Landmark building disappeared years ago, the small one close to Terminal one 2 or 3 years ago and when I finally arrived at the Emporium even this one was gone. I liked to buy books in those little shops, heart now broken.

Soi 8 my beloved Via Vai restaurant moved to On Nut where I finally found it after a lifethreatening ride on motorcycle taxi, but nothing to do with the previous one. What I did find after strolling through the greater On Nut area was one of these huge Thai only restaurants where you get a lot of tables under a big roof and all sides are open. I love these places although a local translator is necessary to avoid sudden death from being overspiced.

Soi 11 is partially an absolute mess. Where they have broken down all the houses 3 years ago is now a string of lousy bars employing overaged ex hookers and trying to attract people by unbearably loud music, pure horror. I note many men sitting there staring into their Singha for hours and not speaking one word to anybody, for what do these people come to Thailand? If I would be the wise Prime Minister I would give access to the kingdom only under a certain BMI ( Body Mass Index ) anyway and free from tattoos. I note muscly dudes walking down Sukh as if they were at the beach, a disgrace. Unfortunately this kind of people is also back after the virus.

When I decided to undertake an investigative trip deep into the local nightlife I went into Soi 4 only to turn backwards after 50 meters, not my world any more. As it has never been to be honest. Glad to see the ladyboys opposite the Landmark are still alive as the working girls under the crossover near Soi 8. Neither of them attract me erotically but they belong to the ambience. Culturally, I mean.

Most important on my list is a safe place where I can smoke a cigar after dinner and have a drink in peace. Point is that cigar smoke in hot temperature is absolutely unpleasant for bystanders and I may therefore officially annouce ethat my current safe haven is a vegan restaurant in Soi 11. There has been nothing on earth that ever attracted my visiting av vegan establishment but this one offers comfortable lounge chairs outside , cigar smoke disappears into the Soi and I have to say that the food is truely brilliant. I don´t know how they do vegan " Meatballs" but I do not care anyway. They offer alcohol-free beer only which is of course a desaster but when I complained the guy explained I should go see the next 7/11 down the road and buy there what I want. Excellent approach, he later even found  an ashtray somewhere. I went there every night, the Thai waiter is from Egypt.

Finally, I wish to elaborate on women. If Buddha is with you it might happen that your path crosses that of a female citizen with similar vibration on various fields of interest. And so it came that with my latest flame of in the meantime 7 years duration our arrangements on the common mattress always led into a pure and pleasant inferno. One does not become younger and after a week in the kingdom I theoretically felt close to another week in intense care at Bumrungrad (sp?). Which was great. Aforementioned flame is now about to change her marital status in favor of a guy from France whom I wrongly identified as American but the flame and myself  are constructively working on a layout for the future so that nobody falls into an emotional vacuum. I think this is very elegant as I have said it. I am asking for your mental support.

Conclusion: Within a couple of months all of BKK will be back to normal, some establishments shall remain broken for ever, others arise from the ashes. Destruction creates new life. I thank the Lord that he put Siam on his list of projects once when he created it all.

Gentlemen,

I wish to let the world know that a situation like we are facing it now has not been seen ever before during my lifetime. A 20 feet container from China cost abour 10.000 US recently ( now dropping ) against maybe 1500 US under previous circumstances. Door to door from China traditionally took about 6 weeks and is now nothing but a lottery. It is even worse at the USA west coast. They keep the ships waiting in the Channel for weeks because nobody can unload them in Hamburg. The price of a tomato doubled since last year, same goes for almost all grocery. Popular cheese from France is not available and the seller has no idea when it comes again. Even the most ordinary car spareparts are on backorder til nobody knows when. A friend who flies for Lufthanse says they could fly a lot more if they could find people to load/unload the planes. If you want to buy a car you will most likely be sent away with a kick in your ass unless it one of the expensive ones. I ordered a Volkswagen van in December and they do not tell me when we get it. I offered to accept any engine including nuclear power or charcoal carburettor, no chance. All this has been the same before the Ukraine war began, I wonder what we are heading for.

I was going to say Koel but Nok Koel is nothing like your No Kiang 

Which I obviously happened to find out in the process.

FOUND IT  !!!!

After consulting the lovely Pam again she recommended I should bloody leave her in peace with my bird and switch on Google Thai bird voices which I did and there he comes :  The Common Asian Koel  !!

Hi,

It's called "Nok iang" in Thai. Quick search shows that it is a 'common myna' in English.

Sanuk!
 

Sir,

further research makes me think this is not the bird I am after. The one you mention is a black animal that can speak after proper training. Which makes me tell the following story:

Once upon a time they had two of these birds on the holy ground of the Oriental Hotel living in a cage of generous dimension. They spoke the words Happy birthday or Good morning to anybody passing by. A man from England who used to spend the whole European winter at the hotel  invested an hour each day to widen the language ability of the birds by teaching them Fuck off you arsehole. It took some time and plenty of food til they got the message. Soon they moved them away but due to strong protest of many guests they had to bring them back, a compromise was found by creating a discreet but easily accessible position close to the Author´s Lounge. May they rest in piece, they should long be dead. My bird is a different one.

I often hear this bird when I have breakfast deep in Soi 8 or by the river. It makes a noise similar a cuckoo. Reason for my research is that on another forum I wish to explain the crowd that I dislike having a super breakfast on the 16th floor of a fancy hotel and prefer sitting at the road somewhere and whenever I hear this bird I feel happy. It triggers something unknown deep inside the Bubi-soul. Last week I had an enormous tecnical breakthrough by finally being able to operate whatsapp and since then plague everybody I know with lots of electrifying news and photos. I shall now approach the lovely Pam to send me a picture of the mysterious bird. I keep you posted. 

Gentlemen,

question in between. I want to find out the name of a a bird which is fairly frequent even downtown BKK once there are some trees . Asking Mrs Pam over the phone it sounds like no kiang . What could that be?

Agreed - once or twice a year type of event would be good. 

Anyone remember the name of the venue where we had the Server Party?  On Soi 11 if I remember correctly.

Holy Lord, I remember the event taking place  like about 100 years ago. I am quite familiar with Soi 11 these days but cannot identify any venue, we were at an upper floor somewhere.

Gentlemen, there we are. Due to the now fully established Brexit and revitalised former glory I did initially plan to embark on armed Eastindiaman"  Stickman of Christchurch " from Southampton calling Zanzibar, Bombay and Madras bound for Rangoon carrying 200 tons of English industrial products in exchange for fine Burma silk, precious spices and ivory. All sailings seem to have postponed indefinitely so I chose a plane.

Currently I am in process of analysing the urban facilities and find some beloved places disappeared in total or have been downgraded into another useless snooker bar.

Now this becomes serious and I am asking for your advice, knowing there should be some learned American gentlemen between us.

Talking about the lovely Pam who is in process of marrying a guy from USA, which is an idea I fully support if you believe it or not. We had some sort of business dealings working over time and she has taken care of this while I could not come here since December 2019. Not one satang has been stolen or otherwise disappeared I would like to add.

Now there seems to be a fiancee visa in the making and the man among other income lives  on an army pension which , and that is the question , according to Pam shall be paid to the widow once the Lord calls Monsieur´s  earthly existance quits. It that the truth, gentlemen, or do conditions apply?

Question No.1, there might come more.

I have to apologize thinking Tonga belongs to NZ. Stickman might have Maori relatives.

" There was no doubt also that Germans were highly regarded by Tongan royalty "   I have always thought so. Their King weighs a ton.

That looks like a boy who is frightened of bigger boys.

I came across this "referred to as"  nonsense recently, in an email exchange with a government department here.

My apologies for posting the below:

https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/our-work/diversity-and-inclusion/pronoun-use-in-email-signatures/

.....Pronouns are words used to refer to people (for example, she/her, he/him, or they/them). An easy way to normalise the use of pronouns is to include them in your email signature.....

A few quick definitions:

• Agender - Someone who feels neutral towards their gender and rejects the influence of gender on their person.
• Cisgender - those who identify with the sex/gender they were assigned at birth.
• Fa’afafine - (Samoa, American Samoa, and Tokelau), Fakaleiti or Leiti (Tonga), Fakafifine (Niue), Akava’ine (Cook Islands), Māhū (Tahiti and Hawaii), Vakasalewalewa (Fiji), and Paloma (Papa New Guinea) Fa’afafine and others listed above are some Pasifika terms used to describe cultural and gender identities. They are more or just as much about familial, genealogical, social, and cultural selfhood.
• Gender diverse - A person whose gender identity or gender expression differs from a given society’s dominant gender roles. Gender diverse can refer to those who are transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, or have other identities outside the gender binary.
• Hijra - A word used in the Indian subcontinent to describe intersex people, and transgender people. This community also use the words Kinnar or Kinner to describe themselves.
• Intersex - A term used to describe a person who may have the biological attributes of both sexes or whose biological attributes do not fit with societal assumptions about what constitutes male or female. Intersex people may identify as male, female or non-binary.
• Nonbinary - An umbrella term for people whose gender identity doesn’t sit comfortably with ‘man’ or ‘woman’. Non-binary identities are varied and can include people who identify with some aspects of binary identities, while others reject them entirely.
• Taahine - Taahine is similar to mixed gender, sometimes non-binary, or transgender not-otherwise specified. This speaks to the intersection of Māori and non-cisgender identities.
• Takatāpui - Takatāpui refers to Māori who are not heterosexual and/or not cisgender. It is used both as a gender identity (similar to transgender), as an attraction or sexual orientation (similar to lesbian, gay, bi, or pansexual). It is also used as an umbrella term for all non-heterosexual and/or non-cisgender Māori people (similar to ‘Rainbow Community)’.
• Tangata ira tane/whakatāne - Tangata ira tane roughly translates as trans man. This speaks to the intersection of both Māori and trans man identities.
• Trans/transgender - those who identify with a different sex/gender than the one they were assigned at birth.
• Two-Spirit – A term used in Native American communities which refers to a person who identifies as having both a masculine and a feminine spirit.
• Whakawahine - Whakawahine roughly translates as trans woman. More literally, it translates as being or becoming, in the manner or spirit of a woman. Many Māori trans women are whakawahine, love this term, and prefer it over transgender, transsexual, or other terms. Some Māori trans women feel that ‘whaka’ or ‘to create or become’ holds an implication that they are not women, and reject this term on that basis, often preferring Taahine or Takatāpui.

What they've missed out,  is the Viking way of referring to trans and gender diverse people, which is the sound of an axe, swung forcibly to the head or neck of such person, resulting in death of said person, or a second swing in the absence of initial death..

 

 

My grand-grand- father fought for Kaiser Wilhelm around Tonga. After thorough research of this list I identify myself as Tangata ira tane/whakatane ( nonbinary ) with two dicks .

Do I have access to the NZ social support system?

Coss I thought you might like that :

There are alternatives.

Mekong, just came across this. Makes me feel guilty no joke. The man I cheated died maybe 40 years ago , what a nice person he was but now there is nothing I could do about it . Really did make me feel bad whenever it came on my mind. As it does now I may say. Some things you have done are simply unforgivable.

Bubi, we are not in opposition, merely having a discussion with differing opinions. Debate is healthy as long as it does not get personal, and occasional piss taking is both given and taken by both parties.

The link you posted is rather useful. At first I was thrown as to the meaning of GFK, but being moderately educated I found out it is Glasfaserverstärkt, the German for Glass Reinforced Plastic or GRP, and as such Germany is doing a sterling effort to recycle the blades.

Concrete “Can” be used as aggregate is road construction, whether it is or not is a different matter, and the cost of demolition / recycling is an overhead probably never considered during initial construction. 
 

Germany always has been an foreword thinking nation on Green issues and recycling, I fortunately many other nations are not quite up to speed with Germany.

So the Rotting in Place comment probably does not apply to Germany but most likely does to the rest of the world (at present)

You haven’t countered my Too Expensive and Don’t Work (efficiently) remarks as of yet, I await your feedback.

To comment the Too Expensive I would have to gain more knowledge before I start any drivel. Although the "Too" expensive already means taking a point of view, others may say anything avoiding pollution can not be too expensive per se. I do not share this opinion.

I certainly disagree with the Don´t Work. No question they don´t if there is no wind. Like there is no boomboom at HoneyBee Massage if no staff present.  But in the long run the windmills do their job, more and more are under construction and within a few years there should be appropriate batteries available. In the end they produce electricity which means they work.

Rotting in Place

The blades are mode from Fibre Glass, (itself a derivative of oil), which does not decompose or cannot be recycled so just dumped into landfills.

 

Mekong as you know I hate to find myself in opposition to yourself but above all the truth has to be defended :

https://www.eurecum-gmbh.de/windenergieanlagen-recycling/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr5PEu7Xy9gIVlvhRCh0I9wyzEAAYASABEgIfSPD_BwE

In German but the pictures tell it all.

" As for Concrete, even a small (2Mw) Windmill uses 30,000 Tonne of Concrete per Base/Tower, will all of these be dug up and disposed of when Windmill is decommissioned. they can’t be reused"

Almost all of it is reused after rebuilding roads, bridges, buildings etc. It replaces gravel although cannot be used for building again because quality is too low due to improved standards.

Disclaimer: I do not support windmills due to their ugly design. But there will be many of them in future.

Gentlemen, as one of the genius´dedicated followers I may present today Donald´s latest thinking concerning windwills. The great part starts at 00.36, enjoy:

If I would be Mrs Biden , I would always postion myself behind my husband with a hidden hardwood rolling pin and knock him on his head in case he is talking to the public and does stop reading from the teleprompter.

There is more to this, listen carefully: " the “Big Day” <is> (April 19th) " , the following 20th is my birthday, on April the 21st I shall leave for the Kingdom, arriving on the 22nd. Who would still believe in coincidence, Mekong what do you think?

Did I say the University should bring Criminal charges? No I didn’t, I merely stated that they should be facing manslaughter charges. So what is your fucking point?

 

I just wanted to mention that there is still a possibility for criminal charges, manslaughter or whatever, quoting a guy from the university. Which was my fucking point.

You, dear Sir, suffer from a version of persecution complex which is getting worse. Calm your mind, quoting Buddha.

Just now, Mekong said:

So this is a contradiction then if you did not ask your dentist to have a test, or did the dentist do the examination / work from a remote location? Since you did say “any person who comes close”

I would have thought Hair Dresser, Masseur etc would be more likely to ask you to take the test, since (in Thailand at least, don’t know about Germany)  they have to be fully vaccinated and take regular tests.

I did not have to ask the dentist because a signpost in the waiting area said that according local regulation himself and all staff have to test themselves on daily basis. I am awfully sorry Mekong that you again did have to type a load of shit and it has again be useless. Get a life man, you seem to suffer from something.
